Site Master is the Preferred Cable and Antenna Analyzerof Wireless Service Providers, Contractors, and Installers.Cost Savings and Quality ImprovementWireless market competition requires operators to reduce per site maintenanceexpense. Site Master’s Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) techniques breakaway from the traditional fix-after-failure maintenance process by finding small,hard to identify problems before major failures occur.Sixty to eighty percent of a typical cell site’s problems are caused by problematiccables, connectors and antennas. When cables or antennas are contaminated withmoisture, damaged, or mispositioned during storms, Site Master identifies theproblem quickly. Antenna degradation reduces the cell coverage pattern and cancause dropped calls. Site Master can pinpoint the antenna problem from ground levelin a few seconds making climbing the antenna tower unnecessary.A poorly installed weather seal will corrode connectors and, if undetected, willeventually damage an expensive coaxial cable. Site Master has the sensitivity toidentify the connector problem before the cable is damaged. Distance-To-Faultprovides the clearest indication of troubled areas.Site MasterRevolutionizesCable andAntennaSweeping inthe WirelessIndustry.Rugged and ReliableBecause the Site Master was designed specifically for field environments,it can easily withstand the day-to-day punishment of field use. The analyzer isalmost impervious to the bumps and bangs typically encountered by portable fieldequipment.Easy-to-UseSite Master operation is straightforward; measurements are obtained through amenu-driven user interface that is easy to use and requires little training. The large,and high-resolution TFT color display makes test interpretation easy and quick. Afull range of markers enable the user to make accurate measurements. Limit linessimplify measurements allowing users to create quick and simple pass/fail tests.Features local language graphical user interface support in English,Chinese, Japanese, French, German, and Spanish.2

Cable and Antenna Analysis – Increase System UptimeFDR TechniqueFrequency Domain Reflectometry, (FDR), and Time Domain Reflectometry, (TDR), have similar acronyms, and bothtechniques are used to test transmission lines. But, that’s where the similarities end. TDRs are not sensitive to RF problems:the TDR stimulus is a DC pulse, not RF. Thus, TDRs are unable to detect system faults that often lead to system failures.Additionally, FDR techniques save costly, time-consuming trouble shooting efforts by testing cable feed-line and antennasystems at their proper operating frequency. Deficient connectors, lightning arrestors, cables, jumpers, or antennas arereplaced before call quality is compromised.Quick, Simple MeasurementsSite Master performs various RF measurements aimed at simplifying cable feedline and antenna analysis: Return Loss, SWR,Cable Loss and Distance-to-Fault (DTF). A single key selection on the main menu activates the desired measurement mode.Return Loss, SWRReturn Loss and SWR “system” measurements ensure conformance tosystem performance engineering specifications. Measurement easily togglesbetween either one of the two modes and can be performed without climbingthe tower.Cable LossCable Loss measurements measure the level of insertion loss within the cablefeed-line system. Insertion loss can be verified prior to deployment, when youhave access to both ends of the cable, or on installed cables without access tothe opposite end. Site Master automatically calculates and displays theaverage cable loss so there is no more guess work or a need to performcalculations in the field.Distance-to-FaultAlthough a Return Loss test can tell users the magnitude of signal reflections,it cannot tell the precise location of a fault within the feed-line system.Distance-To-Fault measurements provide the clearest indication of trouble areas as ittells us both the magnitude of signal reflection and the location of the signal anomaly.Distance-To-Fault measurement capability is built into all Site Master modelsas a standard feature. Return Loss (SWR) measurement data is processed using FastFourier Transform and the resulting data indicates Return Loss (SWR) versusdistance. Distance-to-Fault measurements indicating Return Loss or SWR versustime is available with Handheld Software Tools . 4

New Options Provide Cable and Antenna AnalysisCoverage from 2 MHz to 6 GHz2 MHz Frequency Extension (Option 2, S331D/S332D)The standard Site Master spans 25 MHz to 4000 MHz. Option 2 extends the lower frequency range of the cable andantenna analyzer to 2 MHz.6 GHz Frequency Extension (Option 16, S331D/S332D)Option 16 extends the standard 25 MHz to 4000 MHz frequency range of the cable and antenna analyzer to 25 MHz to6000 MHz. Option 16 used in conjunction with option 2 provides continuous coverage of the cable and antenna analyzerfrom 2 MHz to 6 GHz.OSL CalibrationOpen-Short-Load (OSL) calibration is standard for the S331D and S332D. All errors from source match, directivity andfrequency response are mathematically removed allowing for accurate vector corrected Return Loss, Cable Loss, VSWR,and DTF measurements. Directivity is usually the main contributor to measurement uncertainty, and corrected directivityof 42 dB or better is common using Anritsu’s precision components.FlexCal The Site Master FlexCal broadband calibration feature is an OSL-based calibration method. It offers field technicians asimple and convenient way to troubleshoot and identify faulty antenna system components, because it eliminates the needfor multiple instrument calibrations and calibration setups. Field technicians can now perform a broadband calibration andchange the frequency range after calibration without having to recalibrate the instrument. A zoom-in/zoom-out capability isavailable in Return Loss, Cable Loss or VSWR mode. Because the resolution and maximum distance are dependent on thefrequency range, field technicians can even change the frequency range in DTF mode to produce the desired fault resolutionand horizontal range needed for the measurement, without performing additional calibrations.TMInstaCal CalibrationThe InstaCal Calibration module is available in the S331D and S332D and users cancut the time required to calibrate the Site Master by as much as 50 percent.With InstaCal, users are only required to connect the InstaCal calibrationmodule once and the calibration process will be done automatically. Directivityspecification for the InstaCal module is 38 dB for the entire frequency range allowing the user to make fast and accuratemeasurements.RF ImmunityIn today’s wireless environment it is very common thatthere will be other RF activity present when making ameasurement. In order to make accurate measurements inhostile RF environments, the receiver has to be able to rejectthe unwanted signals. Special dithering techniques are appliedto the Site Master when making a measurement, and theSite Master can reject signals up to 17 dBm ensuringaccurate measurements in RF rich environments.5
